For a little context, I'm an author, so I'm very picky about the things I use to help make my writing as good as it can be. I was sold out for Grammarly (still am, but now only using the free version) until I finally caved and did a two week trial for PWA. This program is robust. It has an extremely comprehensive report that details out the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of your writing, and there are many different reports you can run if you choose to really drill down into it, which is what I love about it. Grammarly pales in comparison. But here is a fun fact: Grammarly actually works INSIDE ProWritingAid, so you get the best of both! I now use the free version of Grammarly to catch things in the document that PWA doesn't pick up on, so I'm getting two for the price of one. If you're going to do PWA, I would highly suggest getting the Lifetime License (which goes on sale fairly often) because it lasts 50 years. And yes, you're reading that correctly. My suggestion: No matter whether you're an author, blogger, business owner, or CEO, ProWritingAid is what you need.
There is a steep learning curve to using PWA and really maximizing the reports and everything is has to offer, which has frustrated people in the past. I was overwhelmed by it at first until I took some time to look at every report, how it works, etc. and was finally able to get it set up how I like.
I'm not the best when it comes to grammar or knowing where all those pesky commas are needed (cure you!) so that is one of the big things it helps me catch. It also gives me suggestions for where I can strengthen my wording, rephrase passive writing, or when I'm repeating myself on accident. All this in addition to the reports which have helped me drill down into my writing and improve upon it.
I love how simple it is to use, all onem ust do is click on a word and pronto you have the option of correcting your errors. The requirement to click was a feature that I appreciated. I used to use Grammarly and it irritated me how if you moused over things they would pop up. This slight change has been very appreciated. It also makes amazing corrections around the uses of passives. Apparently I have a bad habit of using for too many passives. This helps me to address the problem!
One website I use has issues with the extension. Sometimes prowritingaid randomly decides not to work on Roamresearch, however I think this might be an issue from the browser I use "brave" as I never had the problem on Firefox. One of the other common problems is that some of the "correction lines" which show up under the words do not match. The line will be in a different location to the correction. This may be a resolution issue on my end, as I have a surface book 2 which uses 2k resolution. I have not tested it on another PC to find out.
Correcting overuse of passives! One huge benefit was discovering that I could use prowriting aid with Scrivener. I use Scrivener for book writing. The ability to edit whole books with prowriting aid is something grammarly could never do.
I best like that for a quick pulse check there are comprehensive reports just a click away.
I dislike that document load time is much slower for larger files.
I'm being kept accountable to make my writing clearer.
The fact that it integrates with any app you happen to open. Email, Facebook, etc. Corrects mistakes on webpages as you type. Perfect how you present yourself to others and get this app.
It is a little pricey yet for the money you spend, you are able to present your ideas and thoughts to the world and it will be professional, crisp and polished. It is money well spent.
I have not had any problems that have been solved by using this app, yet my writing skills have improved tremendously. It not only helps with misspellings, but it also corrects uses of punctuation, excessive usage of adverbs, and so much more. You can get a report of your entire body of work directly on the site, and it is amazing. One time while using, I became so absorbed in writing that my laptop died. I was so upset as I lost all my work, but since I had been working on the site directly, I was so happy that when I logged back in, I saw that nothing had been lost! This saved me from starting from scratch and losing all the precious ideas and work that I had just poured into the book I am writing and that alone makes this priceless. I have been able to send professional emails with no errors, as well as facebook posts and reviews on Amazon without errors or improper usage of grammar. I see it also has been having an effect on the way I speak! It truly has helped me in so many ways. The best way to really make use of this program is if you are an author, a student, a professional or just want to improve your way of interacting with others.
Really helpful in finding complex gramatical errors and quickly correcting them.
Free version doesn't function in every online writing field.
I have a terrible habit of using passive voice instead of active voice. ProWritingAid catches that immediately and has been a huge asset in breaking the habit.
The web editor - the variety of dimensions in which you get to edit your text - style, grammar, repeats, diction, transition, etc. It not edits your text for you. Over a period of time you just learn to write better because the editor also gives you overall and specific insights on your writing.
There is nothing I dislike about the editor. It's fantastic.
It makes you better writer over time. Also saves a lot of time while editing long documents. It feels like you have an extra pair of eyes as you proof read.
I like the deep analysis of my writing that ProWrting Aid offers. If you can find a coupon on line, you can get great deals on ProWriting Aid.
The interface is a bit clunky, but it is functional.
I write a weekly blog, and use ProWriting Aid to clean up my writing before posting.
ProWriting Aid has many great features, and it’s constantly improving. I love its readability analysis, spelling, and grammar checker. In fact, I like ProWriting Aid analysis more than I liked Grammarly’s.
I wish ProWriting Aid would provide a Microsoft Office add-on for Mac users. They have an add-on for Windows users.
ProWriting Aid is my favorite writing tool. I love Prowriting Aid so much that I used it as my main editing tool when I wrote a 400+ page book.
My favorite part about this is there is a free version that my students can use at school. I want a tool that sudents can have and use as they move through high school and on to college writing. It is time consuming for me to read their writing at such a close level, and they are not yet adept enough at writing to do it for each other. I like the wummary reports that you get on a piece of writing.
Some of the features only work with the paid version, which can be a disappointment if the feature that you want is only part of the paid version.
So many students do not know what good writing looks like or how to make their writing better. This tool helps students look at their writing with a critical eye and see what they need to improve. This allows students to get a handle on their own wiritng and how they can make their own writing better.
